Help please,
I tried to set up an Toner tracking DB, I have five tables so far
1. MakeID, Make
2. ModelID, MakeID, Model (to generate the Model based on Make)
3. PrinterID, ModelID, SerialNum, MacAddress
4. TonerID, ModelID, Toner, Price (each Model has one or more toner)
5. Invoice, PrinterID, TonerID, Date, Qty
I set up an form which user can use a combo box to choose the printer
serialnum then the subform (table5 - table style) will allow user to enter
the inovice number, date, qty and toner type for that printer.
I want the user be able to choose the toner based on the printer on the main
form and hide the printer ID from the subform. Is there anyway to do this, or
relation between tables have to change.
Thanks!

Hello Icy,

I noticed that nobody answered.

This IS a structure question, so you came to the right place. The main
"answer" is a recommended table structure. Posts on structure questions
need to describe the real world entities that you want to database and the
real world relationships between them. Your post didn't have any of that in
it.

Hope that helps a little.
